yes its i-smartsim too,but i got one problem,when the network change automatically to 3G,and back to gsm the network/signal is gone,it works perfect only in GSM mode including the internet...
[Droid 2 Global General] jabberwockish:
If you're trying to sell it for use on Verizon's own network in the US, why does it matter whether it's SIM locked? :confused:

If your buyer activates the phone on a VZW account and then wants to SIM-unlock it, they can call VZW support themselves.
[Droid 2 Global General] lodestar1:
Here's a noob question that needs an answer : A friend tells me that if I change the baseband of my D2G it will be unlocked, is that truth ? and what's baseband have to do with the SIM lock from Verizon ?
[Droid 2 Global General] jabberwockish:
Baseband unlock and SIM unlock are two different things. SIM unlock is more self-explanatory: It lets you use a SIM card from any carrier you choose.

For fairly obvious reasons, Verizon wants their customers to use SIM-unlocked phones only outside the U.S., rather than jumping ship to use their D2Gs on AT&T or T-mobile. Therefore the radio baseband, by default, is blocked from connecting to GSM/UMTS networks on the frequencies used by AT&T and T-mobile USA. Unlocking the baseband lets you use those carriers' networks, but only if your phone is also SIM-unlocked (and you use a valid SIM).
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
If you change the baseband firmware to a version that doesn't support SIM locking, sure.

But you can't; there's no such baseband firmware for the D2G.

Anybody knows how to unlock motorola droid 2 global to use gsm sim in india. Which tools can be unlock or can be change IMEI?
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
Try online services. They get your IMEI and send you Unlock code. unlock4moto.com is a good one I personally use and it does that for $6. Based on my experience, phones with IMEI starting with 3536500 has more chance to get correct unlock code and ones with 3554940 has less chance!!!

[Epic 4G General] nathan951:
I would love to see the old volume rocker control from DI18 incorporated into the new froyo release.

The old volume rocker use to:

The all the way down position was: "Silent All"

Up one position was: "Vibrate Only, no ringer"

Up one more position was: "Ringer On +/- Vibrate"...

When i sleep i like my phone silent without any vibration.

but after i get up i like it to vibrate only (but no ringer), which use to be just a click of the button...

and then when i get in my car i wanted the ringer, which was just another click of a button.

Now its just a pain to make change (vibrate only) to (silent all) setting...

Please help, Thanks!

Well if no one decides to take up this project, I can recommend you to try some of the control panel widgets on the market. You can use Extended Controls or System Info Widget. I think they're only like 99 cents each or something. You can just put up a 1x1 widget with a toggle that will do silent/vibrate/normal.

Sorry for the new thread, but search is down...

This may be a widely discussed issue, but does anyone else have some serious issues with stock 2.2 from Kies? I've had some problems with random reboots and Wifi glitching out (shows "Error" on status). Phone is also super laggy at times (especially with intense apps like Rhapsody).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkinBobUk:
Is anyone else having any problems with their data connections on orange in the UK?

I've only just noticed that i have on data connection at all.

At first i thought it was because i set my wireless lan settings to a static ip. But changing it back does not bring my 3G back.

Then i remembered i upgraded from darkys rom 9.3 to 9.4 so thought maybe it was the modem included in the update. But i just changed the modem back to zpg and still no luck.

I have data turned on in the settings, But when i go to the about screen it says disconnected.

Im sure my settings are right, and i sent a picture message this afternoon which was delivered ok.

Im at a loss as what to try next?

Anyone else have any ideas.

[Thunderbolt General] jackoutside:
I went back into my local Verizon store a few days after buying my 'bolt and I saw new signs heavily promoting the unlimited Hotspot.

I looked closely at the fine print on the signage and it stated that new and existing Thunderbolt customers will have to subscribe to a Hotspot data plan after May 15, 2011. $20 / 2 gig plan not available.

I asked the rep who sold me my 'bolt and he confirmed that the $20 plan will not be available for the Hotspot, and that Verizon has not yet announced what the cost and plan will be.

I rely on the Hotspot feature of my N1, using it daily. I'm not too keen on locking myself into a one year contract on a phone without knowing up front what the full cost of the plan will be, and what the terms are.

My bet is that they're going to follow in AT&T's $40 / 4 gig footstep and offer up a $50 / 5 gig plan which includes the Hotspot feature, requiring those who want it to give up unlimited data.

I call foul. They should announce the cost of the Hotspot now so those of us who rely on it and who want to use it without resorting to alternative means, can know the full cost before locking themselves into a contract.

Edited to include a pic, taken with my bolt
[Thunderbolt General] lorijuan1024:
i went to 2 diff verizon stores and its $20 extra than what you are paying now
[Thunderbolt General] ikon8:
Root; Wireless Tether.
[Thunderbolt General] jackoutside:
@ lorijuan1024 - Except for the fact that every sign in the store that advertised the unlimited Hotspot through 5/15 stated "$20 / 2 gig plan not available" in the fine print, and the Verizon rep confirmed that it would NOT be available...

@ ikon8 - I've rooted and used Wireless Tether on other phones, wasn't happy with the performance, not as good as the stock app. That is why I switched to the N1, it's native OS functionality
[Thunderbolt General] Thunder Droid:
Exactly,

If u root and run WiFi tether, u won't need the hotspot, I feel the tether is better anyway!

Sent from my ThunderHammer from Pluto
[Thunderbolt General] javawolfpack:
So I agree Wireless Tether is the easy solution, and though on rare occasions I've had issues w/ wireless tether so far on my thunderbolt it seems to be work as good if not better than the mobile hotspot (which has also had published issues). I also have gotten the same speeds on each actually on some cases the wireless tether speeds might have been faster. You could always go with the free wired tethering solutions such as pdanet, which doesn't even require rooting.
[Thunderbolt General] bearklaws:
I cant wait for them to tell me, "They are going to charge me more"...It will be a good fight...
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
So you can have slightly degraded performance with the hack/app that gives you tethering for free, or you can pay an amount of money that seems to have you upset for slightly better performance.

Seems like a no-brainer to me, but YMMV. ;)

BTW, I've not tested wireless tether on my TB, but it's been a staple on older phones with android and it always performed as well as the phone could give.
[Thunderbolt General] Sweeny Russ:
+1 Root, Wifi Router
[Thunderbolt General] zacholley:
its because its not 2 gigs its unlimited for 30$ a month for hotspot coming in may....
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
I doubt unlimited for only $30/month. Verizon would be crazy.
[Thunderbolt General] craighwk:
Yes, they would be.

If that does somehow end up being true, I might just have to cancel my Qwest DSL and use my phone. Who would have thought 6 years ago that we'd be doing that?
[Thunderbolt General] CorporateGoth:
The $30 unlimited is staying, but that applies only to data used BY THE PHONE, not tethered devices.

The extra charge ($20 for 2gb is commonly quoted, though when I looked on the vzw site, the thresholds were 1, 3, 5 and 10gb) is a separate and additional charge for data used by 'consumers' of the WiFi Hotspot app.

So that means regardless you will have to pay $30 for unlimited data to your phone, but on top of that, after May 15th, you'll have to pay extra to keep using WiFi Hotspot. I guess this app somehow identifies traffic as coming from a tethered device so VZ can account it (that or WiFi hotspot does not do NAT, but instead acts as a bridge and so gets an IP address direct from VZ rather than the phone, which makes it easy for VZ to count the data usage - or it could even have the WiFi hotspot app phoning home to report data usage, I don't know).

When you root and use WiFi tether, it's doing the same thing as WiFi Hotspot, however the VZ network never knows you're even tethering anything, so they can't charge for it (WiFi tether does not tag packets, and does NAT so the IP address the tethered device gets comes from the phone, and is never sent beyond the phone). This means that according to VZ, all the data is coming from the phone and is therefore subject to the required $30 unlimited fee anyway.
[Thunderbolt General] Capt.D:
If you don't want to root and don't mind tethering use PdaNet......
[Thunderbolt General] lorijuan1024:
also should of added on my earlier comment rep said was 2gb so i was thinking screw that
[Thunderbolt General] jackoutside:
I use this feature as my primary source of internet access - slightly degraded performance to someone who uses not as much may not mean as much to someone who relies on it.

Besides, the main point of my post is that Verizon isn't disclosing the full cost of this "bundled" plan, phone data and Hotspot data, until after we're locked into a contract.

I jumped onto the phone as soon as it was released to lock in the unlimited data, like most everybody else in this forum did...

I think we agree that wireless tether is an option, my preference however would be to use the stock app, purely from a reliability standpoint.
[Thunderbolt General] jaym25:
WiFi Tether is an option, but not as a primary source of internet. Verizon runs programs that look for unusual data usage (on the 'unlimited' plan) and they may bill or throttle you. If you use WiFi Tether occasionally you shouldn't have a problem. But be careful. Enormous bills have been reported.
[Thunderbolt General] masInvasion:
I searched a lot about them detecting unauthorized wireless tethering and haven't found many people who got caught, I've seen posts from people stating usage exceeding 15GB and never getting caught, do you know how much data people were using that got caught?

I only use it occasionally, and never had a problem.
[Thunderbolt General] wrb123:
I really doubt they can detect tethering. If you tether and visit some websites from your computer, how are the packets verizon sees any different from using a mobile browser with the user agent set to desktop?
[Thunderbolt General] dre4402:
its going to bbe 30.00 for unl on may 15 a software update will be pushed to the phone thats going to remove the free hotspot then you will have the option to add it on if you like
[Thunderbolt General] jpg71:
Here's one way they can detect it: Assuming default TTL values, the packets coming from your tethered computer have a TTL value of 126 whereas the ones coming from your phone have a TTL value of 127 due to the additional hop. One way around this would be to force your computer to start with a TTL value of 128 so that when it goes through the phone, it has a value of 127 which would now be no different than the phone itself.
[Thunderbolt General] :
That's good and interesting information, but not really *proof* - I realize Verizon could just insist it's proof and terminate your contract, but I doubt they'd do that without a warning first. Seems like an easy thing to bypass with the tethering app as you imply.
[Thunderbolt General] arglebargle:
FYI. AT&T has started sending letters/texts to people tethering without the tether plan. They are saying to either stop tethering or they will start charging you automatically.

I mention this because I'm thinking if AT&T starts cracking down on it, Verizon wont be far behind. And also, because if AT&T has a way to tell if you are doing it, Verizon probably does too.

I can't put a link here yet (new user since 2006? Apparently lurking doesnt count!) to any of the stories about it, but you can find them easy enough.
[Thunderbolt General] babybacon:
lets throw some anecdotal evicence into this discussion.

When i used to tether my eris to my laptop my 3g would cut out after 5 minutes or so no matter what rom i used.

however when i tethered my eris to my viewsonic g tablet on any rom it worked forever.

maybe verizon can tell the difference between webpages meant for firefox/IE and pages meant for android browswers...

idk. just seems like they are packet sniffing.
[Thunderbolt General] marcogiudice:

[Thunderbolt General] squeeze:
Love the Hotspot feature. Maybe May 15th is when the Xoom will start getting the 4G radios and this is their way of having everyone on the same pricing plan. I have the Xoom and the Wifi Hotspot seems to be more reliable than the Thunderbolt, BTW.
[Thunderbolt General] Gr8gorilla:
The carriers have to be careful about how the determine if you are tethering or not. The could easily get an invasion of privacy lawsuit filed against them for sniffing your packets. The implications with credit card info and personal data etc, are huge.

My guess would be that they are just seeing that a desktop UAString is being used and assuming tethering. Otherwise they could soon find themselves in deep sh*%.

Really think about it, what is the difference between the data that comes through your phone and your computer? Does a kb of PC data cost more than a kb of Phone data? No. They just see it as cutting into their hotspot/usb dongle market and want to keep that revenue. The reality is that a smartphone is a computer in it's own right, not just a glorified modem. If you shared your netbooks data connection with your desktop, do you think they could charge you?
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that wifi tether was adhoc, where hotspot was infrastructure? I've tried to get some tablets to recognize my wifi tether and it won't. Don't get me wrong, I love wifi tether, and use it regularly with my laptop(asus ul35jc) and it works fine. But I can't get any of the droid tab I have tested it with to work. I haven't tried it with the xoom yet, but I will eventually.
[Thunderbolt General] ApplCobbler:
My girlfriend inherited my old rooted/rom'd Captivate and she regularly switches her sim card out of her iphone and into her android phone in order to use Mobile AP/Tethering.

Last week her service was cut off and neither of those work, she recieved a text message from AT&T about signing up for wireless tethering.

So, even if she's just registered as an iphone user, they were able to track her usage on the Android phone and send a C&D notification to her. Don't believe that android is safe from any of this.
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
Being a freemarket libertarian/borderline anarchist, I usually don't ***** about anything companies do because I believe it is their right to freely charge what the market will bear, but.....
